We only use the current crop of goji berries, directly from the Chinese province of Ningxia, where they mature on high plains and are carefully dried so that the taste and nutrients are retained.

The goji berry is known to be the most nutritious berry. It is high in carotenoids (pro-vitamin A), B vitamins and iron. It contains over 20 trace elements and minerals as well as all essential amino acids. It is especially valued for its "adaptogenic effect" (promoting vitality and resistance to stress).

Western medicine is only beginning to discover the goji berry. In traditional Chinese medicine, the goji berry has been used for a long time.

Great on its own, in mueslis, in rice dishes or as an addition to yoghurts or smoothies.

Warnings:

Known interactions with medication: Doctor and patient should be aware of the possibility of interactions between Vitamin-K-antagonists and the goji-berry. The Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices published a warning end of March 2013 regarding possible interactions with certain anticoagulants such as Phenprocoumon (Marcumar) and Warfarin (Coumadin). Goji berries appear to block the dismantlement of these substances, causing a dangerous accumulation of the active substances in the body. This increases the risk of strong bleeding. Those taking Vitamin K antagonists should avoid preparations containing goji berries.
